Mallorca saw a fall of 0.8% in tourist numbers in July compared to last year. Since May, the popular Spanish island has seen a slump in visitor numbers, with businesses blaming overtourism protests by locals. Adopuma’s president, Onofre Fornés, explained that tourists using beach amenities such as sun loungers and parasols have been impacted by rising flight and hotel prices, while anti-tourism protests have made matters worse. Protests continue in Barcelona, Mallorca, and Ibiza, with chants of “Tourists go home” on the streets and slogans on walls. These protests are now partly blamed for the recent decrease in Mallorca’s tourist numbers.
